Default possible head gasket on 94 accord help!!

my g/f 94 accordhas been acting weird maybe a head gasket. its been sittin for a while. he has had problems so i went to check it out here is what i got. after sittin about 2 weeks since being started we started it no problem checked it out. no water leaking that i saw, but she did say she had temp problems goin up a little more than usual. we drove it around for like 5 minutes and had it idled inmy driveway for about 45 minutes and a/c on. Temp never went past half way. we shut it off and start a few times ok. it didnt seem to have the power it should so i shut it off for like the third time to check some stuff. I tried to start it up and it made like a squeaking sound and blew enormous amount of white smoke out of it and it barely started and when did it acted like it was on like 1 cylinder and stalled and wouldnt start no more. sound like a headgasket to you or maybe crack in block but i didnt see no water leak

you might want to remove a spark plug or 4 and use a strong flashlight to look into the cylinders.
any coolant loss in the level of the radator?
if you leave the radiator cap off and start the engine does coolant spew out?
You might not be able to diagnose this problem by looking at things.
